Here are the favorite foods of Presidents Obama and Trump

• Obama and Trump's dietary preferences differ as much as their ideologies.• Where Obama likes Five Guys, Trump prefers McDonald's, and where Obama will indulge in Hawaiian shaved ice, Trump will go with eggs and bacon.

On Jan. 20, 2017, Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the president of the United States in a peaceful transition of power. The past eight years under President Barack Obama have been rocky at times, but whether you liked him or support his successor or not, his term has finally come to an end and the era of President Trump has officially begun.

Ideologically, these two presidents couldn't be more different, but their dissimilarities don't stop at their political beliefs — they carry over to their dietary preferences. Through the Affordable Care Act, the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, and the White House garden, Obama and former First Lady Michelle encouraged Americans to pay more attention to their diets. Obama eats a variety of vegetables from the White House garden (or, well, he used to), along with fruits, nuts, salmon, and just the occasional cheeseburger. According to his last physical, Obama is 6 feet tall, weighs 175 pounds, and is in excellent overall health.

Trump's diet, however, is more reflective of the way the general American public eats. He has proudly articulated a love of fast food, especially McDonald's, KFC, and Wendy's, because he proclaims that these foods are guaranteed to be safe from any contaminants. (He has been conspicuously silent about Chipotle.) Trump also has a strange obsession with calories and carbs. He's been known to scrape off and eat the cheese and other toppings from his pizza and ignore the dough (how very un-New York of him), and he drinks a lot of Diet Coke. A letter from his personal physician shows that Trump is on the border of being overweight and obese, but, despite this, his physician said "he would be the healthiest person ever elected president."

Obama’s Inauguration Menu

Obama's 2009 inauguration lunch menu featured dishes inspired by the winter season and the bicentenary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. It included stew of sea scallops, shrimp, lobster, and cod in a cream sauce, baked in a terrine covered with puff pastry; then came a winter vegetable medley and a "brace of American birds," such as duck and pheasant. Dessert was a cinnamon-apple sponge cake.

Obama needed a steady stream of energy to stay focused during his eight years in the White House. He kept a giant bowl of apples on the Oval Office coffee table to satisfy those late-afternoon munchies. He also had mixed nuts on hand for when he got a snack craving.

Obama’s Favorite Vegetable: Broccoli

In 2013, Obama told a group of student journalists that his overall favorite food (and, therefore, also his favorite vegetable) was broccoli. Though it's hard to believe that anyone would choose a bowl of steamed broccoli over a cheeseburger and fries, he swore it was the truth.

Obama’s Favorite Fast Food: Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Despite his slim physique, Obama has a soft spot for cheeseburgers and his favorite fast-food joint to grab one at is Five Guys.

Trump is open about his love for fast food. He believes that since these restaurants have so much to lose if a patron gets sick from one of their meals, that they take extra precaution to produce clean, safe food. Trump's go-to fast-food spot is McDonald's, where he is especially fond of Big Macs and Quarter Pounders.

Obama’s Favorite Hometown Restaurant: Italian Fiesta Pizzeria

Obama's adopted hometown of Chicago is famous for deep-dish pizza, so it may come as a surprise that what has been called the president's favorite restaurant, Italian Fiesta Pizzeria, serves a thin-crust pie. Despite being generally health-conscious eaters, both Michelle and Barack are quite enthusiastic about Fiesta's pizza.
